Thanks JDK, Yea in a perfect world we would go in Burnt Landing and sled across the lake.  But we won't be going in until about 4p Thursday afternoon, so my guess is things will be pretty soupy at that point.  It's either going to be that or sledding in right from the Sullivan Rd.  I knew it hadn't been plowed , but didn't know if things had changed in the last month.  Does anyone think there are any real concerns about crossing the lake from Burnt Landing, camp is over near Limestone point so we are dragging gear across the heart of the lake.   Thanks

on sled you should be ok but id do a solo run across just on sled to check. biggest problem would be old holes opening up. saw that starting yesterday. what time you plan on leaving? im 10 min from long and i could go check it for you. conditions should be similar.

Thanks Steve, I just sent you a message.

Had a good trip to camp.  Was able to park right at the boat landing and we snowmobiled across the lake Thursday afternoon.  There was probably 2-6 inches of slush on Thursday afternoon and Friday, but by Saturday morning the lake was hard and we were not hitting any slush, When we snowmobiled out, it was smooth with enough traction which made it for good traveling.  The fishing on the other hand was slow.  Caught a lot of perch and Cusk at night but the salmon and trout bite was slow with only managing a couple of them with no size.  I was amazed at how there was really no snow.  If it wasn't for the snowmobile trailer we probably could of drove right into camp.  That will be a wrap for the winter season.  Time to get the golf clubs out and get ready to put boats and docks in.

Huemorin:
Oh yea, and I would say today there is still 14+ inches of black ice everywhere I drilled.
